Full Description
This book focuses on current cutting-edge research concerning the increasing strategic importance of subsidiary networks to the multinational firm. It combines contributions from three major related areas of inquiry: the changing theoretical conception of networks and the structure of the multinational firm, the importance of spillovers and agglomeration economies related to multinational investments, and the management of the flow of information and knowledge from headquarters to subsidiaries and vice versa. The book approaches the network structure of the firm from the different perspectives of the expert international contributors, while also combining theoretical perspectives with recent empirical evidence.
Network Knowledge in International Business offers students in international business and strategy a cross-section of relevant research and current empirical evidence relating to knowledge management and the management of the modern multinational.
